| Comment | Please do not offer any financial incentives for EPA Certified wood
stoves or for any wood burning devices.
Real world change-out programs have failed to produce desired
results. The EPA’s program in Libby, Montana is one example where
the EPA and the state paid to change out every wood stove to an
EPA-certified stove. No need to quote the subsequent studies
because I'm sure you already know they didn't get what they paid
for.
Any public policy that incentivizes a new wood burning device as a
replacement for an old wood burning device has the added damage of
implying that wood can be burned without harm to public health.
Please don't offer any subsidies for EPA or alternate wood burning
devices.
